This three-day course offers an opportunity for petroleum industry employees and related government, financial, legal and service industries to gain an understanding of the unique economic principles that drive the "oil business" to success in the 21st century. The course begins with a presentation of basic economic theory and develops its application to financing, finding, development, transportation and marketing of energy resources. The impact of these on the success or failure of the firm is then considered. The course uses real life examples and experiences and, wherever possible, case studies which allow all to participate in group discussion and learning. Participants are required to bring a laptop, loaded with Microsoft Excel, to the course.

This course is a great introduction and overview to the fundamentals of Petroleum Industry Economics. Mr. Henderson has a vast knowledge of the subject and very much enjoyed his instruction.

IT'S OK, LOADED AND SHOULD BE DELIVERED AS SUCH.

July 18, 2016, Engineer, Calgary

My only disappointment from this course is knowing that I've only scratched the surface of Mr. Henderson's knowledge.

A tremendous amount of information is provided to each participant in the form of working excel models, slides and case studies. Gerald's industry experience is impressive and his personality is friendly and engaging.

Good.

April 4, 2016, Development Engineer, Calgary

Very good course! Great discussions on world events and producers and how they effect the oil/gas price. Review the economics of projects and learn to determine their value through NPV, ROR and IRR.

November 30, 2015, Manager, Strategic Policy, Calgary

Overall a valuable course and a good refresher of many concepts taught in a business school. The instructor shared stories from his wealth of experience in the industry, which was helpful.

Gerry has a incredible and wide-ranging knowledge. The course provides excellent groundwork to implement the skills learned to real world scenarios.

October 27, 2014, Vice President, Development Services, Calgary

Would definitely recommend this course, Gerry has amazing knowledge

Highly recommended.

July 28, 2014, Engineer, Calgary

Overall, this course was great, and I walked away with a better sence of petroleum economics. This course helps you understand the elements that go into these economics, and gives a good snapshot of the petroleum world on a global scale. One thing I would have liked from this course was more basic information and to complete more hands-on calculations. Other than this, the instructor was very knowledgeable, open to increasing your understanding and providing insightful thoughts into the petroleum industry.

July 25, 2014, Royalty Planning Analyst, Calgary

Covered a broad range of topics, overall a good introductory course on petroleum economics.

March 6, 2014, Assistant Director, Houston

The training was good but too costly. It should have more than an Instructor to add panache and verve to it. It should be more participatory. There should have been time out for participants to unwind by visiting some places of interest. after all, all work without play, would ensure boredom.

February 18, 2014, Manager, Calgary

Interesting course with a very seasoned instructor able to solve a wide variety of questions

February 14, 2014, Operations Engineer, Calgary

The facilitator shared great information during the three days. The only problem was that the slides where not well put together. The presentation in general needs more structure and all the visual side of it needs to be redone by a powerpoint expert.

February 14, 2014, Staff Procee Engineer, Calgary

The event was really good, I would take it again!

February 10, 2014, Director, Calgary

Having taken economics/finance courses in an academic setting, I really appreciated the instructor's perspective as someone who applies the concepts in the field every day.

February 10, 2014, Pipeline Operations Engineer, Calgary

The course instructor has a significant amount of experience and knowledge on the chosen topics. That being said, the course material is very poor. If you are someone who likes to look back and re-read material you will be disappointed. Good course but not worth $2700.
